Re: mikes art thread
Hey MoP, would you happen to know anyhting about using the 'deform sprite' def on an alphatested shader with specular and bumpmaps? Ive been trying to get this to work for foliage on trees but instead I ended up just creating a 6-tri cluster model (3 planes facing at each axis) for the foliage using the same material but… -
Re: Copyright, IP, and infringement. Oh my!
So I heard Piracy was bad since it in most cases lowers profit for developers and may cost them their jobs if no revenue is made. The bad always outweighs the good. And I guess the only way you can truly experience the bad is if it's done to you. Speaking from complete lack of experience and thinking you should still be… -
Re: Steam Workshop now supports paid mod creations
I strongly disagree with this. Mods should be made for free and downloaded for free. It's community-made things for the sake of community. If it's paid... well, it's just paid amateur DLC and that's all. Hell, devs don't even need to do anything with their game after the initial release, if they feel scummy. Just open the… -
Re: Entry Level Positions in San Francisco?
Justin, thanks for the tip. I spent a couple of hours today going through every studio in San Francisco that is listed on the game dev map, and I found a few that match the description. Not as many as I had hoped, but it gave me a good idea of how competitive the market will be. Jacque, thanks for the advice. I really am… -
Re: VISA muredered me.
@JordanN Hey! Completely understand your PoV. Mostly because of the fundamental limitation of SK gaming industry and its shitty treatment. A lot of game devs and markets in sk intensely focuses on exaggerated female or male character designs (lots of pretty girls) since console market in Korea is practically dead and… -
Re: piracy in the videogame industry
Well its mostly depends on the popularity of the game you worked on really. Not every game can be 'valued' the same. Barbie's magical adventure isn't the same as Call of Duty 2 for example. So to generalize everygame is 'worth' $50 a piece is pretty vague to begin with. I've seen 'new' games come onto shelves one week only… -
Re: Omfg, Obama is President
I have to ask - why are you democrats such horribly SORE winners/losers? When Bush won either term, nobody was gloating, poking or saying "eat it dems!" or anything of the kind. The board republicans were simply happy. Why do you guys have to be such dicks? My girlfriend and her mother (as is mine) are republicans through… -
Re: EA lays off 600 workers.
Maybe I'm a bit sympathetic now that I'm part of the Evil Ampire, or I see them trying to improve, but layoffs aren't necessarily times for company bashing. There are times, such as the recent Lucas or Midway layoffs, where the action is another manifestation of deep-seated problems and does not address the issues. The… -
Unbiased node-based baking coming to Blender
Dalai Felinto is re-writing texture baking in Blender right now (introduction here). It will be based on a quite new (now standard) Blender rendering engine, Cycles. It's unbiased, flexibly customizable with nodes and super fast. What's NOT decided yet is the interface and the functionality needed in real full-scale… -
Re: WAR PAINT - Q&A
I can't understand why you asking for meshes , you probably mean UVmap? , skins are already uvmaped , although there are not the easeast to understand or apply a propper cammo patern the vehicles/tanks have an already UVMAP (otherwise wont be posible to be inside). So skiners have to understand they way that existing uvmap…
